The critics are often inaccurate, agreed. They are a minority, so they never will really show you how good or sucessfull a given object is.

The first time I listened to this song while watching the film, I didn't really like it much. But after rewatching the awesome opening scene a lot of times, I became addicted to the song. So meaningful and badass.

[@timovangalen1589]

What kind of crack were they smoking? This is easily one of the best Bond themes ever made.

[@carlvincent3462]

i place this at number 2 (behind gold finger) and ahead of live and let die, then view to a kill, then diamonds are forever. its probably a more catchy song than Gold finger but you cant top miss Shirley Bassey for 100% Bondness. i recon OHMS is best overall but isn't a song

[@lc9245]

I would rank it low as well I am sorry. Everybody has their own taste. I just don't feel this one. I know people also absolutely love Daniel Craig , but I just don't like his Bond.

[@DavidGibson-ff9nu]

Opening credits were mesmerizing and this song is a big part of it! RIP Chris Cornell

[@OneAndOnlyMe]

Totally agree. I remember seeing this in IMAX and thinking, the animation and everything about it is perfect. The opening credits of the other Craig era movies never came close to matching this credit sequence.

[@americker]

The perfect Bond theme for this film - it feels muscular, dangerous, tense, and a little bit sad. And feels both fresh and classic at the same time. Perfectly captures the essence of the film, and I honestly think the combination of the pre-credits sequence followed by this is one of the reasons why Casino Royale works so well. It primes you for what's to come.

[@americker]

Also I love the uneven bar count in the verses (7 bars I think).... Nice touch

[@BJBee]

Absolutely agree. It encapsulated the movie, which is what theme songs should but rarely do. This is remarkable because it succeeds so well. This and Golden Eye are my favorite Bond themes.

[@StimParavane]

Yes, as soon as this came on with the animated opening sequence I knew it was going to be great and I was not disappointed.

[@techadmin7704]

Probably the "deepest" lyrics ever written for a Bond movie theme. Quote from Wikipedia: Cornell thought it was a strange offer, considering that he is American, and imagined that he would perform a secondary song in the film instead of the main theme. Cornell declared he liked the Bond movies, particularly the ones with Sean Connery, but that he "wasn't really a big fan of the last several movies". But Daniel Craig's casting as James Bond intrigued the musician, and he decided to accept the job. Cornell then went to Prague to visit the film's shooting, and was much impressed with the film's emotional content after he was shown a rough cut of Casino Royale. In Prague he also met the score composer, David Arnold, who suggested writing a song "that echoed the film score". The composers started their writing separately, Cornell in his apartment in Paris, and Arnold in his house in London. Cornell stated that he had some difficulties with composing: "It is difficult, I think, to write lyrics for a character, so really I just kind of wandered around for about a month not thinking about it too much, until I sort of formulated some idea of a way that I could approach it, where I'm kind of relating to what's in the character in the movie. And because this particular Bond is very edgy, but also has a lot of emotional depth, it's a lot easier."Later the two musicians met and showed each other's ideas, and according to Arnold "it was almost like we wrote two parts of the same song."Cornell wrote lyrics, to which Arnold added some lines and later music. Some of Arnold's ideas included the song's title, the heavy introduction, and "having the same genetic material as the Bond theme, but in a different order and in a different shape".

I took this as a complete reeboot of the Brosnan era. I loved it. I know this song by heart. I however was surprised about the White/Keys duet. I adore that jam too. I was sure they'd keep the rock influence. But then we got 3 ballads. Powerful vocals, don't get me wrong, but Sam and Billie just copy pasted Adele tbh

Adele and Chris Cornell(R.I.P.)... One of the best Bond themes

[@manoskoutsounakis5515]

I was surprised when i read a Rolling Stone article about Bond songs that this song counted as one of the worst. For my opinion "You know my name" is a powerful songs which describes the right character of James Bond in our days. Also i believe that the late Chris Cornel gave one of the best performances for a Bond song. Unforgetable.

This is an ode to all James Bond movies. The best theme song.

[@Sierra.Foxtrot]

I don't think i've seen anyone mention that the chorus of this song is supported by the same three-note chromatic progression that is the base of the James Bond theme. The original theme is in E minor, this song is in in B minor, but relatively, the progression is the same. In this song, the progression ends on the third note, while in the Bond theme, a fourth note redirects smoothly to the beginning of the progression. As if the song was an incomplete, unfinished version of the Bond theme - just like Bond himself in the film. This contributes in making "You Know My Name" the perfect seminal song for the character.

[@why_tho_]

Damn, that's actually insane.

[@AuspexAO]

Cornell loved playing with music like that. His songs often were like a weird mix of prog rock and grunge with unusual time signatures and strange tunings. I feel like he and Soundgarden hit the scene just in time to not be appreciated anymore, ha ha.

[@backtoklondike]

@@AuspexAO Though part of it can also be credited to David Arnold. He has been scoring all of the Brosnan movies (expect Goldeneye) and he made fan remixes of Bond music before he was asked to compose for the movies for reals. He knows the Bond theme inside and out and could because of that find a way to play around with it. Now I'm not downplaying Cornell here (RIP). He and Arnold composed the song together and made the song what it is and I doubt he would want to be just another musician for hire. This is a Chris Cornell song, I just don't think he would left out David Arnold contributions to it

[@nathangraham1611]

And Arnold's vision for the song was always for it to express a James Bond that hasn't fully become "James Bond." That's why "You Know My Name" is reprised in the score throughout, but the classic theme isn't heard until the very end.

[@adampecsek]

The hosts of the podcast Switched on Pop just released an episode about Bond themes, and they noted that this ascending/descending chromatic movement appears in many of them, often somewhat obscured. It's worth a listen.
